[center][h3][color=Darkorchid][u]Other People of Note[/u][/color][/h3][/center] [u][b]Members of the Church:[/b][/u] [hider=The Apostle of Grimvine] [img]https://i.imgur.com/fEZ7EnK.jpg[/img] Marianne Farnoir Ixnil One of the 12 Apostles that serve directly under the Grand Cardinal of Flugell. She gives direct orders to Grisha behind the scenes and has taken a particular interest in the activities of the Eon Tower. [/hider] [hider=The Inquisitor of Grimvine] [img]https://i.imgur.com/YAg1LXw.jpg[/img] [color=f9ad81]"All I ask is for your cooperation. I become...very uncharitable, when people waste my time."[/color] Grisha Pensworth [hider=Grisha's Theme] [Youtube]https://youtu.be/sfrN12pI3jk[/Youtube] [/hider] An inquisitor from the Church, he has been personally assigned by the high priests to act as a mediator when the Theocracy needs to deal with the Eon Tower directly. He is polite, but also inflexible and demanding. [/hider] [hider=The Holy Seer] [img]https://i.imgur.com/7Yw68Kb.jpg[/img] Tethys Aria Zaerado A high priest in the ranks of the Church's crusader forces, her purification skills are second to none. She is also a powerful esper that is granted clairvoyance into certain future events. [/hider] [hider=The Ashen Maiden] [img]https://i.imgur.com/ZCqg0WE.png[/img] [color=silver]”My blade is blessed by the Scion of Light, and my shield staves off the rot.”[/color] Alexandra Haschwalth Vander A young woman from a renowned noble house within the holy walls of Flugell. She serves the Church as one of its finest upcoming knights, and reports directly to an Apostle. Despite her fledgling age in comparison to her compatriots, she rose through the ranks quickly and is set to become one of the youngest paladins in several generations. Like any member of the Church, she commands a skillful application of Thaumaturgy in her combat repertoire, along with combining the elements of fire and wind to create a power that has come to be known as Ashen. Alexandra Incorporates her sorcery into her swordsman afforded to her by her house. The Vander family are famous in and out of the Holy Capital for the exceptional swordsmans that are produced from their house, often regarded as being among the best in the world. This, along with her noble standing as a prominent member of the Church, Alexandra was quickly thrust with high expectations - perhaps before she was fully prepared for it. As opposed to her standing, Alex is a rather humble and quiet person, not actually liking when her lineage is brought up as the subject of conversation. She currently has been chosen by her Apostle to act as Grisha’s aid in various assignments, serving as added muscle and his subordinate in administrative tasks.

Keep as you are, and our relationship will blossom into something inconceivable." [/color] Donovan Krausser A benefactor who first met Arteus during an Association conference, who expressed a peculiar curiosity in the ideas the sage presented. After which, he personal offered to sponsor the Tower and supply it with resources to bolster it's independence. He's actually the owner of a well establish corporation that specializes in the study and exorcism of apparitions; he lends his knowledge to the Tower as part of the staff, serving as an apparition advisor. He lost his right arm in an unfortunate accident, and had it replaced with a prosthetic made of a special alloy. [/hider] [hider=The Vagabond Hound] [img]https://i.imgur.com/sLhYcyW.jpg[/img] [color=9e0b0f]"I've no interest in heroics or gallivanting around for ungrateful common folk. If you've need of an errand dog, go ask one of those fucks from the tower..."[/color] Lucius "Vagus" Gravewood [hider=Vagus's Theme] [Youtube]https://youtu.be/4DdvXH4DJE8[/Youtube] [/hider] An apparent vagrant and infamous magus, Lucius is a loner who chooses to make his own way in the world. His appearance is marked by sharp features, most notably his mean-looking eyes, causing those around him to adopt a sense of unease and caution. It certainly doesn’t help that he has a blunt, unpleasant way of speaking along with having a bad attitude and general unfriendly disposition. All that combined with the fact that he’s rather lazy when it comes to most things and dresses like a ruffian, and it’s no wonder why most find him to be an unsavory chap. Despite this, he’s actually quite skilled in the art of magic and combat, being able to easily rival the most experienced magus with little to no issue. Although, he integrates martial arts in his style more so than your average mage; many find their bodies being burned by the pain of broken bones and bruised flesh rather than by a fireball. Nevertheless, he’s shown high proficiency in various forms of sorcery and is actually quite intelligent. In fact, his techniques and abilities are rather similar to another famous sorcerer’s… He goes by the name "Vagus" in all instances, and doesn't take kindly to being called anything else.

She does her part to maintain a healthy standing with the other members of Eon, but often clashes with Arteus as she feels his methods are too extreme. She tolerances him nonetheless, eager to improve relations between the Magus Association and the Fae Kingdom for the sake of the Queen who placed her trust in the young warrior. She wields a large ornamental bow while out in the field, well known in the forest for being a master sniper. Blessed with high magic aptitude, she combines her archery with holy magic so that her arrows dispel curses. She also utilizes flora magic to use the plant life around her to aid her in a pinch, in addition to using a familiar to further assist her. Her summon is called Feyln, a large moth with silvery wings. It spreads scales by flapping its wings, achieving various effects.

Those are nothing more than the qualities of an animal in its place. What makes me a monster is my patience, ability to twist words, and the way I view affection.”[/color] Kinnich A renegade Belua murderer who leads a wandering band of mercenaries. He has been active for several years, and his name is known throughout the world at large and the underground circles of the powers that be. A true symbol of fear except among the truly skilled, he is an S-Class criminal whose bounty is so high it rivals the apprehension most reavers have in hunting him. Riding on his steed that resembles a large monitor lizard, he terrorizes the countryside in his wake as a marauder and sword-for-hire. Although, he may have another hidden agenda in mind… The flames he generates are of an entirely different breed, and seem to be more than just combustion generated through mana. Heat so intense, it can even burn fire to cinder, and creates a conflagration that can only be extinguished by sorcery. Despite his beastly nature, he is a natural born leader, and his followers see him as a pagan of strength that is worth serving under. His cunning and intellect have also made him difficult to apprehend, often outsmarting his opponents through clever strategies and tactics rather than brute force. He also seems to know Lapis, somehow, being able to describe her appearance. He was recently hired by an unknown benefactor, acting as an apparent supervisor for the Loghren plant incident. While the plan went south, he seemed to have something else in mind to make up for it… [/hider] [hider=Keith North "Fatal Pulse"] [center] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/550x/dd/36/18/dd3618e3d97844e545e85fcd47f4e530.jpg[/img] Witty, mouthy and seems to live in his own world, the mercenary [color=crimson][b]Keith North[/b][/color] offers his professional services to anyone who can pay his prices.
